Botu Red Cushion

Creative Science Product #: 75067-Z

Product Description

Red Cushion is used for horse sperm pellet analysis. This cushion fluid of high density is used for semen centrifugation. It reduces damage from centrifugation through sperm damping over the Red Cushion on the bottom of the tube. It produces less compacted pellets with high sperm recovery rate due to the possibility of working with intensity and time of centrifugation above those used in conventional protocols. Because it has a reddish coloration, it allows easy visualization of the pellet and its removal. Red Cushion is for use during equine reproduction to help protect sperm during the centrifugation process.

(1):
  1. Aspire 3 mL of RedCushion with new syringe and needles, and deposit it at the bottom of the centrifugation tube.
  2. Dilute the ejaculate with BotuSemen in the proportion of 1:1 v/v
  3. Incline the tube to 45º and slowly deposit the diluted semen on the wall with plastic Pasteur pipettes so that no mixing occurs between the semen and the RedCushion
  4. Centrifuge at 1000 xg for 20 minutes (Fanem centrifuges: 1000 xg = 2,700 rpm)
  5. With help of a pipette remove the sperm “ring” deposited on top of RedCushion
  6. Resuspend the sperm with BotuSemen or BotuCrio, according to the procedure to be held.
(2):

  2. Insert the diluted semen into a centrifuge tube
  3. With help of new syringe and needles deposit 3 mL of RedCushion under the diluted semen
  4. Centrifuge at 1000 xg for 20 minutes (Fanem centrifuges: 1000 xg = 2,700 rpm)
  5. Remove the supernatant
  6. Aspire the formed pellet over the RedCushion
